Baking

On Tuesdays Emma gets out of school an hour early. So today we got busy baking. I have been trying for years to find something she will actually eat for breakfast. Most day she will pick at whatever she is given. Every now and then she will be hungry and eat it all. But she has been eating her whole lunch...so at least she is eating. Today we were making some PB breakfast bar things. And then she wanted to make some mini pumpkin muffins out of her cookbook that she got for Christmas. 

Baking with my girl! 

Apparently we forgot to put our aprons on, she reminded me.

This is what we made from her cookbook. We didn’t add the stuff on top...although they needed it. We never put as much sugar as it call for, and we use coconut sugar.

Mixing

I couldn’t get her to smile, so I told her to make a mean face.

Then she smiled.

I let her do a lot of the work since this was in her cookbook. That made her happy. I try not to be a perfectionist, but it is hard not to correct mistakes...which you make a lot of when you are cooking at 5 years old.

“This is how I scoop it.”

Both are done. Both are too dry. The pumpkin ones are ok...probably would have been better with all the brown sugar they suggested. The others ones are good, still dry, but when I gave some to Emma she only ate the chocolate chips. 🙄😏🤷‍♀️
